Your screen cable may be unplugged take it back tell them to fix it.

I may get them mixed up but I am sure that the black part is the digitizer and the LCD are the same I meant glass.

Very confusing…… there are 2 parts to this phones screen….. The top glass which is the Digitizer, and the display below it that displays the picture, commonly referred to as the LCD. You constantly refer to the LCD as the digitizer……… its not. On many galaxy phones the digitizer IS part of the LCD but on this model it is not.
